...your breath, my darling? No car keys. Ever!" Unfortunately, I doubt that it will go like this. If my daughter is anything like I was, the talk will have intermissions, pauses, breaks, and will need to be resumed and modified, according to circumstances, every few months or so. The outright ban--my initial negotiating position--may even break down into specific pleadings: No drinking while driving. No drinking with older boys. What an awful mess it's going...
